Buy a furnace and do some aluminium castings. Cast random shit, polish it up on a dremel and sell it on Etsy. Bet you'd get decent cash for an aluminium kitkat and they've got the draft angle built in

that's neat
here's another science one, an improvised radiation detector for red dawn

Anyone know anything cool you can make with tin cans? I have a lot of them.
Make a big bag of cans. Take to recycler. Profit.
How about packing them with red clay (we have a lot), then baking them in a kiln? Would the cylinders shrink and fall out? I'm wondering if that could be some kind of brick form building system. Not sure of the value of round, fired clay cylinders. On end, they would not be all that stable. On side, there would be gaps.
We have practically unlimited amounts of clay and natural gas. Large square bricks are an obvious 'yes', but we're also so poor, we have no covered area to do the prep in. Still, I am fascinated by the idea of even having a trailer (to get out of the near-rainforest level of rain here) to do this prep in, build a kiln, and start shitting out fired bricks that... should be impervious to weather.
this is genius
cylindrical clay bricks being fired out of potato cannons made from cans and fueled by natural gas
you could take over mexico with a couple hundred of those
You can cut both ends off of three and one from one. On the unopened side, poke eight triangular holes for pouring, equally spaced around the rim. Poke a centre hole with a nail. Duck tape them all together and toss in a splash of lighter fluid or alcohol and hold a lighter to the nail hole to make a noisy cannon that can shoot leaves and balls of tape.
Cut both ends out, join them, use the resulting pipe (with homemade air pump) as the forced fresh air system for your hidden underground tunnel system.
maybe not cool but Waypoint Survival has a lot of videos making stuff with tin cans https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9MyxLppsqJGC47Ck2cF5VRVYD3DH1Xpr&si=bT15YG2a61BIUq4o
I would only use them vor heating food in an emergency. I'm not sure if they are save for food when you heat them or use them multible times with scratshes and rust.
5 cents from the city dump. Maybe a loosie from a bum for them?
If they're clean great, but if they're just a pile of empty 40 cans please just throw them away already.
Pocket change
Back in the 60s cut off both ends tape together to make long barrel. Use lighter fluid to shoot tennis balls
Two cans long string…1940s cell phone
Don't forget to wax the string otherwise it's just a meme.
Fill them with HDPE and melt it in the oven to make mallet heads
Check out “tin plate girl”

do people just ignore the plastic lining on the insides of these? i havent seen anyone remove them.
it burns off pretty much immediately. Any that stays soon boils out of the crucible once it boils.
tie a bunch to a string and then tie it to the tail of a dog and watch it run for miles lmao
They are good as throw away crucibles for chemistry.
You can also make a propane forge if you fill them with refractory cement.
They would probably make good plant pots.
take two, tie string between them, sell as off grid phones.
kek, the inventor of the uzi built the prototype out of tin cans

You can make a cannon that shoots tennis balls using a small dose of lighter fluid as the combustible..
paint them black and make a solar water heater

This is actually really interesting, thank you anon

Rivet all the lids together to make a large shiny frisbee…laugh as it lops off kids fingers when they try and catch it

A fellow revolutionarian.
mix it with some scrap copper pipes and pretend you're a Sumerian king
Make lots of soup, put in cans, seal them?
one could study whether room temperature rises when a lot of clean cans inroom compared to room without cans
Find a way to reseal them and store human feces in it, fresh and runny
Then seal them, put lables on, then leave it somewhere to pick it up
